DRAFT FORT GEORGE G MEADE Installation Action Plan - 1

Statement of Purpose

The purpose of the Installation Action Plan (IAP) is to outline the total multiyear cleanup program for an installation. The plan identifies environmental cleanup requirements at each site or area of concern (AOC), and proposes a comprehensive, installation-wide approach, along with the costs and schedules associated with conducting investigations and taking the necessary remedial actions (RA).

In an effort to coordinate planning information between the restoration manager, the US Army Environmental Command (USAEC), Fort George G. Meade (FGGM), the executing agencies, regulatory agencies, and the public, an IAP was completed. The IAP is used to track requirements, schedules and tentative budgets for all major Army installation cleanup programs.

All site-specific funding and schedule information has been prepared according to projected overall Army funding levels and is, therefore, subject to change.

Last Completed 5-Year / Periodic Review Details

Because of the history of ordnance use on the property it is recommended that the recurringreview process not be terminated.

Results

Recommended that the PRR continue to enforcetheir MEC/MPPEH education program. Upgrading the Ball Fields UXO public outreach program to more closely match the PRR-NT education program is recommended

Actions

Continuation of the Five-Year Recurring Review process willallow future evaluation of the continuing effectiveness of the removal action.

Plans

Please note that all of the five-year reviews listed above are for property already transferred under Public Law 100-526 (1988 Base Realignment and Closure Act). As of this date, there are no five-year reviews specific to sites on the active installation. The first five-year review for the active installation is scheduled to commence in September 2014. This will include FGGM-13 (Former Pesticide Shop) and FGGM-003-R-01 and -02 (Former Mortar Range MRSs). Other sites will be added as appropriate with the goal of having a single five-year review for all applicable sites.

Implementation also includes the removal of several cubic yards of brass .22 cal bullet casings.

Future Plan of Action:

Future Plan of Action:

All sites should have RODs in place before the end of FY15. Remedial designs and their implementation should occur for all but the largest and most complex sites: FGGM-07, -47, and -83.

Implementation of the land-use controls and 5-yr reviews.

FGGM was originally authorized by Congress in 1917 as one of 16 training cantonments to be built for troops drafted during World War I (WWI). In 1928 it became a permanent military reservation. During WWI, more than 100,000 troops were trained at the installation. From 1940 to 1946, World War II (WWII) brought 3.5 million men and women to FGGM for training, in different phases. At various times since 1946 FGGM has been involved in the mission of training troops.

Subsequent to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, FGGM applied for a Part B Permit. In 1987, in accordance with RCRA provisions, FGGM began investigating its potential solid waste management units (SWMU). At the same time, a site investigation began at the active sanitary landfill to determine what, if any, impacts the landfill had on local groundwater.

In 1988 Public Law 100-526, the Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC), identified FGGM for realignment as an administrative installation, and recommended excessing approximately 9,000 acres used for training. Since that time, in an effort to keep the surrounding community abreast of restoration activities, FGGM has successfully and actively participated in developing a RAB.

As a result of the BRAC, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), and RCRA statutes, FGGM has RAs ongoing in the base closure account and Environmental Restoration, Army (ER,A) account. In 1989 the installation was placed on the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket, after issuance of the Part B Permit. As of July 28, 1998, FGGM was added to the National Priorities List (NPL). This listing was based on an April 1, 1997 proposal by the USEPA.

At the end of fiscal year (FY) 2001, a number of SWMUs remained to be reviewed by the installation/USEPA/State regulator Tier I partnering team. As of FY03 some of these SWMUs have been geographically consolidated and assigned Army Environmental Database - Restoration (AEDB-R) designations. Currently, 15 AEDB-R sites are under investigation. Completion of remedial investigations (RI) at all 15 sites is anticipated by the end of FY09.

Fort Meade is also responsible for the Granite Nike Fire Control site and the Phoenix Military Reservation (PMR). The Granite sitewas a state-lead site and received a finding of no further action (NFA) from the MDE in August 2007. The PMR is a former Nike Fire Control Area, which operated from 1955 to 1972. From 1972 to the 1980s the Maryland National Guard used the PMR for training. Historical operations have resulted in environmental impacts at the PMR. Groundwater contamination is present on-site and off-site. An RI is in progress. An RA may be required at PMR.

Actions will continue to be performed as outlined in the IAP contingent on funding levels. In May 2005 a performance-based contract (PBC) was awarded that covers AEDB-R sites FGGM 05, FGGM 07, FGGM 47, FGGM 83, FGGM 86, FGGM 87, FGGM 88, FGGM 89, FGGM 90, FGGM 91, and FGGM 92. The second FGGM PBC (PBC No. 2) was awarded in August 21, 2009. Sites covered under this contract are FGGM-13, 17, 74, 93, 003-R-01, and Operable Unit (OU) 4. OU 4 includes FGGM-47, 86, 89, 90, 91, and 92. Future costs at these sites include remedy-in-place (RIP)/response complete (RC) through RA(O) phase.

The Army will continue to investigate and where appropriate remediate sites consistent with the requirements of CERCLA and

Cleanup Exit Strategy

In 1980 the United States Army Toxic and Hazardous Material Agency (USATHAMA; now USAEC) completed its initial installation assessment for Fort Meade. This assessment identified the need for a SI for the active sanitary landfill. NFA was taken until 1987, when USATHAMA updated the 1980 assessment to verify conditions at Fort Meade, and determine the next steps to be taken. In 1988, USATHAMA began a PA of the active sanitary landfill. In FY94, ER,A funds were obtained to complete the cap on Cell No. 1 of the landfill and Operation and Maintenance Army (OMA) funds for the liner of active Cell No. 2.All restoration work to date, besides the landfill, was done with OMA funds. Contaminants found in the landfill area include heavymetals, chlorinated solvents, and non-chlorinated solvents.

As of July 28, 1998 Fort Meade was added to the NPL. This listing was based on an April 1, 1997 proposal by the USEPA. In October 2009, a Federal Facilities Agrement (FFA) went into effect. The FFA was signed by the Army, Environmental ProtectionAgency, Department of Interior, and the Architect of the Capitol.

The general purpose of the FFA is to:

1) Ensure that the environmental impacts associated with past and present activities at the site are thoroughly investigated and appropriate remedial action taken as necessary to protect the public health, welfare and the environment; 2) Establish a procedural framework and Schedule for developing, implementing and monitoring appropriate response actions at the site in accordance with CERCLA, as amended by SARA, the NCP, Superfund Guidance and policy, RCRA, RCRA Guidance and policy, and applicable Maryland law;3) Facilitate cooperation, exchange of information and participation of the parties in such actions.The purposes of the FFA specific to Fort George G. Meade are to:

1. Identify interim remedial action (IRA) alternatives, which are appropriate at the site prior to the implementation of final remedialactions(s) for the site. The IRA alternatives shall be identified and proposed to the parties as early as possible prior to formal proposal of IRAs to USEPA pursuant to CERCLA and applicable Maryland law. This process is designed to promote cooperation among the parties in identifying IRA alternatives prior to selection of final IRAs.2. Establish requirements for the performance of a RI to determine fully the nature and extent of the threat to the public health or welfare or the environment caused by the release and threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants at the site and to establish requirements for the performance of a FS for the Site to identify, evaluate and select alternatives for the appropriate remedial action(s) to prevent, mitigate, or abate the release or threatened release of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants at the site in accordance with CERCLA and applicable Maryland law.3. Identify the nature, objective and Schedule of response actions to be taken at the Site. Response actions at the site shall attain that degree of cleanup of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants mandated by CERCLA and applicable Maryland law;4. Implement the selected IRA and final RA(s) in accordance with CERCLA and applicable Maryland law and meet the requirements of CERCLA Section 120(e)(2) for an interagency agreement among the parties.5. Ensure compliance, through this Agreement, with RCRA and other Federal and Maryland hazardous waste laws and regulations for matters covered herein.6. Establish a procedural framework and Schedule for DOI/FWS and USAOC to participate and cooperate with the Army in its development and implementation of appropriate response actions relating to releases or threatened releases on or migrating to lands formerly managed by the Army and transferred to DOI/FWS and USAOC.7. Coordinate response actions at the site with the mission and support activities at it. Meade and lands managed by the DOI/FWS and USAOC.8. Expedite the cleanup process to the extent consistent with protection of human health and the environment.9. Provide for operation and maintenance of any remedial action selected and implemented pursuant to this agreement.

During its operational history, FGGM-05, also referred to as OU No. 2 (site) contained the following site improvements: Building8481; five aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) ranging in capacity from 275 gallons to 142,000 gallons; and four underground storage tanks (UST) ranging in capacity from 550 gallons to 20,000 gallons. The ASTs and USTs stored petroleum products, mainly No. 2 fuel oil with some ASTs containing waste oil. Bldg 8481 has been demolished and the ASTs and USTs have been taken out of service and closed. One of the USTs was closed in place using inert fill and remains in the ground. Records indicate that three releases occurred at the site, one during a delivery in 1981 and two reported UST leaks in 1991. Due to these incidents the site became an active state-lead site under the MDE's Oil Control Program (Case No. 92-0026-AA).

Six product recovery wells and over 30 monitoring wells have been installed since 1991. Groundwater samples have been collected from monitoring wells at the site, most recently in 2001 and 2008. All 2008 test results are below Federal maximum contaminant levels (MCL). A liquid phase hydrocarbon (LPH) plume was detected at the site. A pump-and-treat system was installed and operated from 1993 to 1996. As the plume thickness decreased the Army used different technologies to optimize product (LPH) recovery. From 2000 to 2003 a solar powered oil skimmer was active. In 2006, the Army began hand bailing product from select wells and in 2008 the Army installed oil absorbent socks/booms into select wells to complete the product recovery operation. The Army continues to monitor the socks/booms and conduct weekly groundwater/LPH depth gauging activates. As of 2008 the initial plume had been reduced into two small plumes with product thicknesses of less than an inch. From 1993 to the present, a total of 4,326 gallons of LPH had been recovered from the site. Gauging records indicate that LPH has not been found in any down gradient wells. The LPH plumes are believed to be static and not migrating off the site. None of the risk factors established in the 2003 guidance document titled Maryland Environmental Assessment Technology (MEAT) for leaking USTs are evident at the site and the Army intends to petition the state to end product and gauging activities and close the site.

As documented in the Final Conceptual Site Model and Assessment Report, a comparison of site conditions against the seven risk factors identified in the MEAT for Leaking USTs (revised, February 2003) and a related Point of Exposure (POE) evaluation indicate no complete receptor pathways, and thus no potential risk is identified under the current and future land use scenario of military or industrial/commercial use. Site conditions indicate that further site remediation is not necessary to mitigate risk. The Army requested MDE grant a certificate of completion for the site which was granted by MDE in December 2009.

A contract was awarded at the end of FY12 for deconstruction of the two pump-and-treat systems. The deconstruction process is complete and the site has been restored to benificial re-use; no further environmental actions are anticipated.

The Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) Drum Site at the intersection of Rock Avenue and Remount Road along the southern boundary of the installation. The site is nine acres and is bordered by State Route 32 along the south, Remount Road on the east, Rock Avenue on the north, and wooded areas to the west. FGGM 07 is identified as OU-5 in the performance-based contract (PBC). The site includes the covered storage facility (CSF) located at the former salvage yard portion of the formerDefense Property Disposal Office (DPDO). The CSF is also known as the DRMO warehouse.

In 1988, the DPDO Salvage Yard was an open storage/disposal area for automobiles, drums, water heaters, heating units, dry cleaning machines, spent batteries transformers, pipe, and scrap metal. Operation of the DPDO Salvage Yard ceased in January 1994 in preparation for the CSF warehouse construction. 263 drums, two transformers, and one high voltage box, were discovered on June 15, 1995. 3,500 tons of contaminated soil was removed. Test results of the drums contents found solvents, degreasers, petroleum products metals, pesticides, and polychlorinated byphenls (PCBs). Soil test results found VOCs and SVOCs (primarily fuel compounds), PCBs, and metals were present. After completion of the investigation, the site was completely paved and the operation of the DRMO resumed along with the newly constructed CSF.

VOCs were detected in the water table aquifer. The source of contamination appears to be the former buried drums and associated contaminated soil. The primary contaminant of concern (COC) is tetrachloroethene (PCE), detected at elevated levels ranging from 189 micrograms per liter (μg/L) (September 1999) to 128 μg/L (May 2006), which exceed the MCL of 5 μg/L. The PCE plume is approximately 5,000 feet long.

Although future land use for this site is industrial/installation support, the baseline risk assessment (BRA) reported a lifetime cancer risk of 2.5 × 10-4 for residential exposure to groundwater used as tap water; PCE, trichloroethene (TCE), carbon tetrachloride, and chloroform in groundwater drive the cancer risks. The human health evaluation did not identify elevated risks associated with the soil under current or projected future land use scenarios. No ecological risks were identified.

In the final focused feasibility study (FFS), simulated solute transport modeling was used to predict future migration of PCE and TCE (degradation daughter product of PCE) plumes under current groundwater conditions. The model results indicated that after 120 years of transport (year 2119), PCE concentrations would not exceed 5 μg/L.

The final FFS, approved by the MDE and the USEPA in 2007, evaluated four remedial alternatives and recommended monitored natural attenuation (MNA)/institutional controls as the preferred remedy for FGGM 07; however, a Draft Final Supplemental Plume Delineation and Data Collection Plan was prepared in September 2008 to address USEPA and the MDE's concerns about the adequacy of the plume delineation and the applicability of the MNA remedy. A supplemental technical report to the FFS detailing pre-design plume delineation and data collection was submitted to the USEPA for review, commented on, and response to comments generated. A Technical meeting with USEPA and the MDE was held on October 27, 2010 to review each comment/response and to agree on a path forward which was determined an active remedy would be necessary (e.g.,

The site is contaminated with a large deep diffuse plume of PCE that extends for over 1 mile (at 5 parts per billion (ppb)) from the site onto property owned by the Department of Interior (DOI). The DOI imposed restrictions on the use of groundwater for potable purposes and the Army anticipates an engineered remedy with LTM and LUCs. Due to the size of the plume, groundwater monitoring is anticipated to continue for an extended period of time (to be determined at the end of the RI/FS phase).

This site, also known as Ammunition Supply Point No. 1 (ASP I), is located within the Closed Sanitary Landfill (CSL) site (FGGM-17). At ASP I, chemical munitions were used including smoke grenades and Riot Control Agents (RCAs) for training purposes (Argonne, 1989). These items were stored at the site. In the 1950s, an unknown number of chemical agent identification sets werealso stored in at the site. The final disposition of these sets is unknown.

Over the course of previous investigations, 21 surface soil, 6 subsurface soil, 1 surface water sample, and 6 sediment samples were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis. In addition, both shallow and deep groundwater at the CSL site has been monitored, for volatile and semi-volatile organics, metals and other parameters including explosives and explosive constituents.Some of the FGGM-17 wells are located near ASP I.

Soil samples were collected around the magazine locations (EM Federal, 2007). One surface and 1 subsurface soil sample were collected from each of 6 former magazine locations in the former ASP area to assess the potential for soil contamination due to spills or leaks. Based on a risk analysis of the analytical results, the risk numbers are below site-specific action levels.

Closeout of this site will require a Record of Decision (ROD). Since this site is located completely within the boundary of the CSL, it will be included in the ROD for the CSL.

Building 73 was constructed in 1965 and used between 1965 and 1979 for troop training using respiratory protection for riot control agents. The building has since been converted for use by the Defense Information School for urban facility inspection training.

Only ortho-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS); tear gas has been used at building 73. CS is not a RCRA-listed waste, CERCLA-listed hazardous waste, or Superfund Amendments Reauthorization Act (SARA)-listed extremely hazardous substance or toxic release chemical.

Building 73 was not identified as a potential SWMU in the 1996 SWMU study nor was this AOI identified in the USEPA (1996) review of historic aerial photographs of FGGM. A Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA) and RRSE were completed for this site in 1997. As part of the CSA-RRSE, seven wipe samples were collected from interior building material surfaces in March 1997. The wipe samples were analyzed for acid compounds and base/neutral compounds.

Only one compound, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was detected in one sample at 10 μg/wipe (equivalent to 0.010 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg)). The CSA-RRSE concluded that based on-site reconnaissance, historical records review, interviews, and sample analysis, use of tear gas in Bldg 73 has not resulted in significant chemical contamination of the building or surrounding lands. The CSA-RRSE indicates that the overall risk value is low.

There is very low potential for the tear gas agent or its decomposition products to have entered the soil or groundwater surrounding Bldg 73. Because CS may potentially release hydrochloric acid, cyanide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide as decomposition products when exposed to both high temperatures and water, both soil and groundwater samples should be analyzed for CS and cyanide. This site is included in FGGM-95. The Army plans to collect soil and groundwater samples to determine if a release has occurred.

FGGM 13 is former Bldg 6621, the former Pesticide Shop, which is south of the FGGM golf course at the southwest corner of the intersection of York Avenue and Gordon Street. During WWII, the building served as a mess hall for prisoners of war. Between 1958 and 1978, the site was used as a pesticide shop. Pesticides stored at the building include malathion, diazinon, and baygon. During this time, it was also used as a maintenance facility for lawn mowers, tractors, and other landscaping equipment. The building was demolished in 1996 and the area graded; currently, the site is vacant, covered with grass and fenced.

SIs were conducted after the building was demolished and the site regraded. The SI soil sampling results indicate that the following chemicals were detected above USEPA Region 3 RBCs: chlordane, alpha- chlordane, gamma-chlordane, 4,4-DDD, 4,4-DDE, 4,4-DDT, 2,4-D, heptachlor, dieldrin, arsenic, and mercury. Neither the horizontal nor the vertical extent of these chemicals in the soil was determined during the SI. Groundwater was not assessed. The numerous risk-based screening exceedances beyond the immediate vicinity where pesticides were reported to have been stored and handled suggest that the sitegrading activities may have spread contamination at the site.

In June 2007, the draft final RI determined that surface and shallow subsurface soils at the former Pesticide Shop are contaminated with pesticides (primarily chlordane) and arsenic. Surface soil contamination primarily drives human health cancer risks and non-cancer hazards that exceed the acceptable USEPA thresholds of 1 by 10-4 and 1.0, respectively for the hypothetical future resident and future construction worker scenarios. The extent of contamination is well defined horizontally and vertically and is proximate to the central area of the former Pesticide Shop, where pesticides handling and mixing occurred. The pesticide contamination is more extensive than the arsenic contamination.

Groundwater is also contaminated with pesticides (primarily chlordane) and certain VOCs but not arsenic. Groundwater pesticide concentrations decrease substantially away from the pesticide handling area. The extent of contamination was determined in 2010as part of a supplemental RI.

The human health risk assessment (HHRA) finds that for current land use receptors, cancer risks and non-cancer hazards do not exceed the USEPA cancer risk and non-cancer hazard thresholds of 1 by 10-4 and 1.0, respectively. Concerning possible future land use receptors (including residential), the HHRA finds that, although the soil is contaminated with both arsenic and organochlorine pesticides, human health cancer risks and non-cancer hazards above the USEPA cancer risk and non-cancer hazard thresholds are driven by the organochlorine pesticides (primarily chlordane). If chlordane were not present in the soil, human health cancer risks and non-cancer hazards would be below these USEPA thresholds. The screening-level ecological riskassessment findings are consistent with the HHRA findings, indicating that organochlorine pesticides pose elevated risks, but due to the lack of habitat and the small size of the site ecological risks are over-estimated.

Comments were received on the Draft Final RI; USEPA Region 3 requested installing four additional groundwater wells, which were installed and sampled. A final RI and Focused Feasibility Study were completed in 2012. A Proposed Plan was submitted tostakeholders and the public for review and comment in August 2012 and a Record of Decision was signed in September 2012. The remedial alternative selected was soil excavation (approx. 700 tons), enhance reductive dechlorination with long-term

FGGM 17 is the Fort Meade Closed Sanitary Landfill (CSL) located along the eastern boundary of the installation, south of State Route 32 and adjacent to the Amtrak railroad tracks. Fort Meade began landfilling operations at the site in 1958 using the trench fill method until 1976; the landfill was used for the disposal of mixed residential, commercial, and nonhazardous industrial wastes. The landfill was constructed as an unlined facility with no leachate collection system and was initially designated as the Active Sanitary Landfill. It was divided into Cell 1, which covers approximately 155 acres, and Cell 2, which covers 66 acres. These two cells were separated by a drainage swale. A third area, which lacks topographic expression, has been informally referred to as Cell 3. Cell 3 was the only trench type disposal area but the extent of this activity has not been determined.

A landfill-gas collection system operates along the eastern edge of the landfill cells (prevents off-site migration) to control emissions from the site (this action is part of the Ft. Meade Comliance Cleanup Program). Much of the site is wooded and there are several areas identified as wetlands. The landfill was officially closed in January 1996 and thereafter referred to as the CSL. Cells 1 and 2 were capped under the MDE's Disposal Permit 1992-WSF-0022-0 issued in 1992. The approximately 130- acre landfill (the entire FGGM 17 site occupies 367 acres) operated under permit #87-02-00-08A, issued by the state of Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on June 26, 1987. A new permit No. 1992-WSF-0022-0 was issued by the MDE on Nov. 2, 1995; operations continued under this permit until closure in 1996. Sanitary landfill operations at Fort Meade were managed by the Directorate of Public Works (DPW). The landfill was closed in accordance with MDE-approved closure plans under RCRA. The Cell 1 closure plan was approved on Dec. 2, 1994, and the Cell 2 closure plan was approved on Aug. 10, 1998.Capping and closure of Cell 1 and Cell 2 were completed under contract in August 1996 and May 1999, respectively. Cap design for both cells included a synthetic liner and a passive gas venting system. No future plans to reopen the landfill are being considered. Comp Ammunition Supply Point No. 1 (FGGM-08) is located within the boundary of the CSL and will be closed alongwith the CERCLA investigations of the near-surface groundwater.

A comprehensive groundwater and surface water monitoring program is in place pursuant to the state's post-RCRA monitoring requirements. The State has agreed with the Army's proposal to reduce the number of analytes in the post-RCRA monitoring (number of wells and analytes) to more closely reflect past detections. A landfill gas collection system was installed in February 2000 in accordance with the post-RCRA requirements. Analytical data from semi-annual groundwater samples collected since December 2000 indicate that several wells have shown statistically significant increases in concentrations of monitored constituents. Three VOCs (carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethene, and benzene) and three metals (arsenic, beryllium, and thallium) have routinely exceeded the MCLs. The findings of the 2007 Final RI are as follows; Geologic, hydrogeologic, and hydraulic data indicate that the Middle Patapsco clays are thick and act as a confining unit at the CSL; therefore, the CSL is not the source of VOCs detected in the Lower Patapsco aquifer. The Lower Patapsco aquifer is addressed in FGGM-47 groundwater investigations. Benzene and arsenic have been detected above the residential tap water RBC and/or MCL in the Upper Patapsco aquifer since 1995. It is unknown as to whether or not benzene and/or arsenic is migrating off-site/off-post above their respective MCLs. Additional investigations are planned to determine the extent of contamination in the shallow aquifer.



Site ID: FGGM 17Site Name: CLOSED SANITARY Landfill

CLEANUP/EXIT STRATEGYCell 1 and Cell 2 have been capped. FGGM is currently monitoring groundwater and soil gas. A formal RI to determine the nature and extent of contamination and any associated risk has been finalized and no risks were documented. Groundwater monitoring will be continued in accordance with the post-RCRA requirements. Wells and/or constituents below compliance levels will be removed from future sampling. Benzene and arsenic were detected above federal criteria in the Upper Patapsco Aquifer along the landfill's southern border (comingled plume). Complex groundwater flow patterns are present in this area and additional investigations are being conducted to determine the vertical and horizontal extent of the plume. Additional Geoprobe borings and amonitoring well were advanced. This data is being evaluated to determine if its sufficient to determine the vertical and horizontal extent of the plume, which is necessary to understand potential expossure pathways. A ROD and RA(C) are anticipated in FY13 and FY14, respectively with 30 years of groundwater LTM and LUC maintenance. The number of wells and constituents tested forwill be decreased as appropriate.

Former Bldg 2283 was located in the southeast portion of the installation approximately 500 feet west of the intersection of Morrison Street and Huber Road. The Former Battery Shop/Battery Disposal Facility is currently a vacant, grass-covered parcel ofland not currently used. The area of interest (AOI) was formerly used as a motor repair shop or storage facility (from 1941 through 1982) and battery disposal facility (from 1982 through 1992). A wood building constructed in 1941 (Bldg T-2283) formerly occupied the AOI, and was demolished in the mid-1990s. From 1982 through 1985, battery acid was discharged directly to surface soil in a bermed area along the north wall of the former building. After installation of an acid neutralization tank in 1985, treated fluids from the neutralization tank were discharged to the surface at the northern end of the AOI. In 1987, discharge of battery acid to the tank ended, but battery rinsing and cleaning operations continued in a sink in the northeast corner of the building; a drain pipe from the sink discharged to the surface soil outside the building. All battery repair and maintenance operations ceased in 1992.

Site characterization and remediation was conducted in 1994 and a CSA was conducted in 2000. The reported results for lead in soil ranged from 13 to 389 mg/kg.

In 1993, soil, groundwater, and concrete samples were collected as part of the Site Characterization and Remediation to assess the extent of lead in soil, groundwater, battery treatment hardware, and the concrete building foundation in preparation for remediation and site closure. Lead in surface soil samples ranged from 0.83 to 3,470 mg/kg. Lead in subsurface soil samples ranged from 0.42 to 954 mg/kg. Lead in groundwater samples ranged from 2.4 to 320 ug/l.

Hardware and soil removal actions were conducted based on the results of the site characterization. This interim removal action was completed in 1994 and included removal and disposal of the acid neutralization tank, stained concrete, and lead-impacted soil from three soil areas. Lead in confirmatory subsurface soil samples ranged from 1.0 to 66.2 mg/kg.

In June 2000, a CSA was done to evaluate the effectiveness of the removal activities. Groundwater samples were collected from temporary wells and two existing wells. Lead in surface soil samples ranged from 4.5 to 180 mg/kg. Total lead in groundwater samples ranged from 5.7 to 980 μg/l; however, dissolved lead was non-detect. Based on the infrequent nature of site visits and the low concentrations of lead detected in the soil, the potential risk to human health is minimal, and no further RA is warranted for soil.

Post-excavation and post-remediation soil samples are all below the action level for lead (400 mg/kg). Most post excavation groundwater samples are above the federal MCL for total lead but all are below the MCL for dissolved lead. Elevated total lead concentrations detected in the unfiltered groundwater samples are most likely due to the presence of suspended solids. Two of the acid neutralization tank gravel groundwater samples reported detections of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene (BTEX) and VOCs. The gravel and soil has been properly disposed of. It does not appear that subsequent soil or groundwatersampling was performed to confirm that VOCs are no longer a COC. To confirm this AOI has been fully remediated, surface soil and groundwater samples may be collected and analyzed for VOCs and metals.

This site is located in the geographic boundary of FGGM-47. Refer to FGGM-47 for more information on the cleanup approach and phase schedule.

Bldg 6530 is a vehicle maintenance facility (SWMU 105), with nearby oil/water separator (OWS) (SWMU 106), and washracks (WR) (SWMUs 107 and 108). Bldg 6530 is located in the southwestern portion of the installation at the intersection of Taylor Avenue and Gordon Street. Bldg 6530 (SWMUs 105-108) is part of FGGM 36 (OU-20) an Auto Repair and Craft Center, which also includes Bldg 4553 (Non-SWMU 11). Bldg 4553 (non-SWMU 11) is addressed as a separate AOI under FGGM-95.

Bldg 6530 was identified as SWMUs 105-108 during the 1996 SWMU study because there was routine discharge of waste to the OWS. The 1996 SWMU study also indicated there were no spills or reported releases for this AOI. Bldg 6530 was also previously identified as a photo lab building. The building is currently used as a craft center for installation residents involved in woodworking,ceramics, framing, and similar recreational activities. In addition, approximately two-thirds of the building is devoted to auto repair.

No chemicals except typical cleaners are kept in the crafts portion of the building. The auto repair facility stores oil, antifreeze, andFreon. Used oil cans, oil filters, and rags are stored in 55-gallon drums for eventual removal. All floor drains in the auto repair area flow to an OWS (SWMU 106), which also receives wastewater from two WRs (SWMUs 107 and 108) at the site. An 800-gallon waste oil AST is located at the northern exterior wall of the building.

Per the 1996 SWMU study there are no recorded releases of hazardous substances. There was no sign of a release of contaminants to the environment during the on-site inspection and perimeter survey of the building grounds. Samples were collected around Bldg 6530 on two occasions; during a RCRA Facility Assessment (RFA) 3rd Phase and a data gap investigation. As part of the RFA 3rd Phase, 16 direct-push borings were advanced around the building, WR, and OWS in April 1999. Three surface soil samples, 12 subsurface soil samples and one groundwater sample were collected using a direct-push sampling rig. The samples were analyzed for VOCs, SVOCs, eight RCRA metals, and TPH-diesel range organics.

In June 2002, as part of the data gap investigation, six new borings were advanced around the northern and eastern edges of Bldg 6530 and around the WRs and OWS. Six surface soil samples were collected and analyzed for 23 metals, pesticides, and herbicides. Over the course of previous investigations, nine surface soil, 12 subsurface soil, and one groundwater sample were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis; however, considering that only one groundwater sample was taken at Bldg 6530, and that the chemicals of interest were arsenic, chromium, and mercury, an additional groundwater sample will be collected. Sincemetals are the risk drivers in groundwater, the groundwater sample will be analyzed for total and dissolved metals. All costs associated with this site are captured under FGGM-95. A letter (June 2011) of no further action was issued for Bldg. 4553 (non-SWMU 11).

Kimbrough Army Community Hospital (Bldg 2480) is located approximately 100 ft east of the intersection of Llewellyn and Wilson Avenues and was identified as SWMU 71 during the 1996 SWMU study because it routinely discharges waste from silver recoveryunits. Bldg 2480 has been used as a hospital since its construction in 1968. Hospital operations were downsized to those of a clinic in the early-1990s. Chemicals stored in flammable storage cabinets and on shelves include acetic acid, acetone, alcohol, phenol, trichloric acid, silver nitrate, hydrochloric acid, fixer and developer, iodine, peroxides, and sodium chloride. Areas within the hospital that use chemicals include the pharmacy, laboratories, x-ray rooms, emergency rooms, operating rooms, dental labs, podiatry rooms, and orthopedic rooms. Silver recovered from photographic processing is removed to the warehouse for proper disposal.

The 1996 USEPA historic aerial photographic study of the installation identified the site as a motor pool (MP) and vehicle service and staging area at in 1943 and 1952 aerial photographs. The USEPA study identified stained soils adjacent to buildings at the east side of this site in the 1943 and 1952 aerial photographs. Samples were collected around Bldg 2480 on one occasion; during a sampling visit.

As part of the March 2000 sampling visit, eight subsurface soil and one groundwater sample were collected and analyzed for TPH,VOCs, SVOCs, and eight RCRA metals. Arsenic exceeded the residential risk-based criteria (RBC) in two of eight soil samples; however, detection limits exceeded both the residential RBC and the industrial RBC.

Detected concentrations (arsenic and lead) in groundwater are above the site-specific threshold for cumulative cancer risk of 5 x 10-5 and target organ non-cancer hazard threshold of 0.5. In addition, the two metals were detected at concentrations in excess of their federal MCL. Further investigations are being conducted under FGGM-95.

Bldg 2220 is located in the southeastern portion of the installation, approximately 300 ft east of the intersection of 3rd Street and Pepper Road and was identified as SWMU 42 during the 1996 SWMU study because past operations at the building included the use of solvents, which produced waste. Bldg 2220 was constructed in the late-1950s or early-1960s and was used as a warehouse and troop training center for some unknown period of time. Bldg 2220 was used in the late-1960s as a missile repair shop, using solvents and producing solvent waste. Bldg 2220 is currently used as an electronic maintenance and equipment calibration shop. No hazardous chemicals are currently in use at the facility. Bldg 2220 is also identified as FGGM 91, Former Missile Repair Shop. FGGM 91 pertains to the groundwater at Bldg 2220 and FGGM 45 pertains to the building and soil. Both sites are being addresed under FGGM-47.

Small amounts of cleaning solvent and gasoline were formerly stored in a shed outside the building. Two fuel oil USTs were formerly located at the south side of the building; one was removed in 1992, and the other was removed and replaced in 1988, then removed in 1997. During the 1988 UST removal, corrosion holes were noted at the end of the tank.

The 1996 SWMU report indicates there is no evidence of a release of hazardous substances. There was no sign of a release of contaminants to the environment during the on-site inspection and perimeter survey of the building grounds. The FGGM ED retains a copy of the MDE inspection reports dating back to 1988. As of 1996, there was documentation concerning the UST removals.

Samples were collected around Bldg 2220 on two occasions; during a Sampling Visit and a SI. As part of the Sampling Visit, six direct-push borings were advanced around Bldg 2220 in February 2000. Six subsurface soil and six groundwater samples were collected. The soil and groundwater samples were analyzed for TPH, VOCs, SVOCs, 8 RCRA metals, and PCB.

In December 2000, as part of the SI, seven additional direct-push borings were completed at the AOI, four surface soil samples and seven groundwater samples were collected. The soil samples were analyzed for herbicides and pesticides. The groundwater samples were analyzed for TPH (five samples), 19 total metals (four samples), 19 dissolved metals (five samples), herbicides, andpesticides (four samples).

Over the course of the previous investigations, four surface soil samples, six subsurface soil samples, and 13 groundwater samples were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis. Since groundwater is discussed under FGGM 91, it is not discussedin this section.

No herbicides or pesticides detected in surface soil exceeded the residential regional screening levels. The cumulative screening assessment results for subsurface soil were below the site-specific cancer risk threshold of 5x10-5 and the non-cancer thresholdof 0.5, and no compounds were detected at concentrations exceeding background levels. These results were determined using three surface and six subsurface soil samples targeting the areas of greatest potential for environmental impact.

FGGM 47 is Bldg 2250, the former Post Laundry Facility, which is located approx. 300 feet northeast of the intersection of Rock Avenue and Huber Road. Bldg 2250 is also designated SWMU 59 (post laundry) and SWMU 60 (1941 laundry).

Future land use at the area, according to the CEMP Land Use Plan dated May 2005, is designated as administrative/operations. Bldg 2250 has also been identified as FGGM's 90-day hazardous waste storage facility in other reports. FGGM 47 is also referredto as OU 4 and includes: FGGM-33, FGGM-45, FGGM-49, FGGM-51, Directorate of Logistics (DOL) Bldgs 2246 and 2286, FGGM-86 Former MP Maintenance Facility (Bldg 2286), FGGM-88 Former Tank Maintenance Facility Shop 1 (Bldg 2207), FGGM-89 Former Tank Maintenance Facility Shop 2 (Former Bldg 2217), FGGM-90 Former Tank Cleaning Warehouse (Bldg 2240), FGGM-91 Former Missile Repair Shop (Bldg 2220), FGGM-92 Former Heavy Gun Cleaning Shop (Bldg 2253), and MWs 123/125d and 124/126d.

In June 2009 as part of an ongoing RI, samples of groundwater taken 200 feet below the ground surface from two Army monitoring wells (MW-125D and MW-126D) at North Patuxent Road and Dovetail Lane in Odenton showed elevated levels of trichloroethene (TCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE), and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). These chemicals are industrial solvents used for cleaning and degreasing metals, to dry clean fabrics, and as an ingredient in paint removers, spot removers and pesticides. The chemicals appear to have originated from Fort Meade.

Based on this information, the Army began an Interim Measure including testing private wells within a 1-mile radius around monitoring wells MD-125d and MD-126d (tested annually) and homes along Old Dairy Farm Road. These homes were included because they are directly downgradient of MW-125d and MW126d, despite being outside the 1-mile radius. As a precaution, the Army is providing bottled water to homes and businesses with private wells within the 1-mile radius while the testing and analysis was underway. Homes and businesses receiving water from the public water supply are not impacted by the solvents. The Army continues to supply bottled water and intends to continue until data shows the residents are not at risk of drinking water unfit for consumption. The drinking water from one home was found to contain PCE above the federal Maximum Contaminant Level of 5 microgram per liter. The drinking water from this and two immediately adjacent home is tested monthly. The results show a decreasing trend in PCE concentrations. The data also shows PCE at this location is not associated with detections at MW-125d and MW-126d. Hydraulic data and groundwater quality data suggest this contamination may be coming from Ft. Meade. An investigation, referred to as Nevada Ave, is being conducted to determine if Ft. Meade is the source of this contamination is planned for 2012. These homes are supplied with bottled water.

Because a drinking water supply (Lower Patapsco aquifer) has been impacted, a NTCRA (EECA) is being completed to expedite an interim cleanup measure. Source level concentrations of chlorinated solvents including PCE and TCE were detected proximal to Bldgs. 2286, 2276, and Bldg 2250 which will result in two separate engineered remedies e.g., ISCO/RA(O) with LUCs and AS/SVE with LUCs; Bldgs 2276 and 2286, and Bldg 2250, respectively. Downgradient of this area, but still on-Post, a large-scalepump and treat system will likely be constructed to mitigate the contaminant levels and establish favorable hydraulic controls in the Lower Patapsco aquifer in the area. After which an FS will be prepared to determine the final remedy.

CLEANUP/EXIT STRATEGYIndications suggest either one large or several closely spaced smaller PCE/carbon tetrachloride plumes are present in the Lower Patapsco Aquifer. This plume extends over a 1 mile (at concentrations above federal criteria) into the Town of Odenton, Maryland. Bottled water is being supplied to several dozen homeowners/business with drinking water wells as a precaution. Key to the exit strategy is a good understanding of the source, architecture, and heading of the plume. To this end, three additional groundwater monitoring wells were installed further east into the Town of Odenton to better define the leading edge of the plume. The results ofthis work are still under evaluation, but additional wells may be necessary. This work is currently being done as a NTCRA as the plume has affected a drinking water resource. The collection of groundwater data is expected to continue through FY13 with a ROD and RA(C) in FY14 and an estimated 30 years of RA(O) including groundwater monitoring and LUC maintenance. The Army anticipates three engineered interim remedies, two will be located where source levels of PCE and are located (Bldgs 2250 and 2286) including ISCO/LTM with LUC and AS/SVE with LUC. The third interim remedy would consist of a large-scale pump and treat system across the path of the plume to stop the continued off-post migration. This system will be installed near the Post boundary with the Town of Odenton. Final remedies will be evaluated in the FS and likely include the continued operation of the interim remedies with 30 years of RA(O) and LUCs. The level of groundwater monitoring during the RA(O) phase is anticipated to decrease as the plume(s) attenuate.

FGGM-51 is Bldg 2217 which was located in the southeastern portion of the installation west of the intersection of Chisholm Avenue and 2nd Street. Two heating oil USTs were located near Bldg 2217: UST No. 2217A was a steel UST (unknown size) installed June 1, 1970 and removed on July 14, 1988; UST No. 2217B was a 1,000-gallon capacity steel UST located off the southwest corner of Bldg 2217 that was installed Aug. 3, 1988 and removed Dec. 11, 1997. The first tank was removed due to corrosion; there were holes at the tank end. There was free-product observed, the saturated soils were removed, and the soil removal project stopped upon finding a clay layer. The new tank was installed and before the hole was completely covered with backfill it filled with rain water. There was no sign of product and the tank installation was completed. In April 2000, the case(s) were closed.

Bldg 2217 was not identified as a SWMU or potential past SWMU in the 1996 SWMU study nor was this AOI identified in the USEPA (1996) review of historic aerial photographs of the base.

Bldg 2217 was demolished in 2003. While the concrete foundation (slab) was being removed, environmental sampling from beneath the slab detected a limited area of petroleum contamination to around 3.5 ft beneath the slab. An investigation of the soil beneath the slab was begun in October 2005. Six locations were sampled beneath the slab. Six surface and 12 subsurface soil samples were collected. The samples were analyzed for SVOCs, target analyte list (TAL) metals, TPH-diesel range organics, TPH-gasoline range organics, PCB, and target compound leachate procedure metals. TPH-diesel range organics was detected at up to 2,300 mg/kg in surface soil and up to 1,200 mg/kg in subsurface samples. Arsenic (at 1.9 mg/kg) was the only other compound to exceed an MDE non-residential cleanup standard.

The slab and soil beneath it were removed on April 24, 2007. To assess the cleanup action, five post-excavation soil samples were collected and analyzed for TPH-diesel range organics and TPH-gasoline range organics. The highest concentration of TPH-diesel range organic detected was 23 mg/kg. The highest concentration of TPH-gasoline range organics detected was 3.5 mg/kg.FGGM-51 is located within the geographic boundary of FGGM-47.

FGGM-70 (Former Bldg 6513) was located in the southern portion of the installation on the northwest corner of the intersection of York Avenue and Simonds Street. Bldg 6513 was identified as a past SWMU because it was formerly used as an indoor shooting range and disposal practices for the impact range were unknown. Bldg 6513 was demolished in 2001 after standing vacant (but locked) for several years. A 550-gallon heating oil UST was located outside the southeast corner of Bldg 6513. The UST was removed in January 1997. Samples were collected around Bldg 6513 on two occasions; during a Sampling Visit and an SI.

As part of the Sampling Visit, four direct-push borings (SB1-SB4) were advanced around Bldg 6513 in February 2000. Five subsurface soil and one groundwater sample were collected. The soil samples were analyzed for TPH (SB3 only), VOCs, SVOCs,and eight RCRA metals. The groundwater samples were analyzed for VOCs, SVOCs, and 8 RCRA metals.

In January 2001, as part of a SI, four additional borings were completed; four surface soil samples (plus one duplicate sample) and four groundwater samples were collected. The soil samples were analyzed for herbicides and pesticides. The groundwater samples were analyzed for VOCs, SVOCs, and TPH-diesel range organics. A Remedial Investigation Work Plan was prepared in 2003 proposing four additional soil and groundwater samples be collected at four of the previous sample locations around Bldg 6513. It is unknown if this sampling was ever completed.

Over the course of the previous investigations, no herbicides or pesticides were detected in surface soil exceeded the residential regional screening levels. The cumulative screening assessment results for subsurface soil were below the site-specific cancer risk threshold of 5x10-5 and the non-cancer threshold of 0.5, and no compounds were detected at concentrations exceeding background levels. These results were determined using four surface and five subsurface soil samples targeting the areas of greatest potential for environmental impact; however, due to historic activities and that an indoor range was demolished here, there is the potential for lead and other metals to be present in surface soil which will be collected and analyzed for metals.

CSA results for groundwater with total metals analysis was below the site-specific threshold for cancer risk but above the USEPA threshold for non cancer hazards. In addition, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (BEHP) in groundwater was above its Federal MCL. The maximum detections of risk driving compounds and MCL exceedences in groundwater are in the duplicate sample from SB6, located northeast of Bldg 6513. VOCs are the risk drivers in groundwater. Also, detections of trimethylbenzenes, naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, and BEHP were reported. The Army intends to collect additional groundwater samples and test for VOCs and SVOCs. This site is being addressed under FGGM-95.

FGGM-71 (Former Bldg 6522) was located in the southern portion of the installation approximately 100 ft west of the northwest corner of York Avenue and Simonds Street. Bldg 6522 was identified as a past SWMU because it was formerly used as an indoor small arms target range and disposal practices for the range are undocumented. Bldg 6522 was demolished in the late-1990s. A 550-gallon heating oil UST was located outside the eastern wall of the Building. The UST was removed in August of 1995. Bldg 6522 was not identified in the 1996 USEPA review of historic aerial photographs; no stains, stressed vegetation, standing liquid, orother environmental concerns were identified at this location.

Samples were collected around Bldg 6522 on one occasion. Four subsurface soil and three groundwater samples were collected. The soil samples were analyzed for TPH, VOCs, SVOCs, and 8 RCRA metals. The groundwater samples were analyzed for VOCs and eight RCRA total metals. Boring SB2 was placed at the location of the former UST that was removed in 1997. An RI Work Plan was prepared in 2003. The Work Plan proposed four additional soil and groundwater samples be collected at the four sides of Bldg 6522. It is unknown if this sampling was ever completed.

The cumulative screening assessment results for subsurface soil were below the site-specific cancer risk threshold of 5x10-5 andthe non-cancer threshold of 0.5, and no compounds were detected at concentrations exceeding background levels. These results were determined using four subsurface soil samples targeting the areas of greatest potential for environmental impact.

No surface spills/releases were identified on the site; therefore, no surface soil samples were collected and no data is available. Due to historic activities and the demolition of an indoor range here, there is the potential for lead and other metals to be present in surface soil. Three surface soil samples will be collected and analyzed for metals.

CSA results for groundwater with total metals analysis were above the site-specific thresholds for cancer risk and non cancer hazards. In addition, several metals in groundwater were above their Federal MCLs

FGGM 74 is the US Architect of the Capitol (USAOC) parcel located in an area along the south border of FGGM; it is situated generally between State Route 32 and Rock Avenue and between Taylor and Pepper Roads. This area was authorized by Congressional action for transfer in 1993 (effective date Sept. 30, 1994) from the Department of the Army to the USAOC to accommodate long term storage and service needs of the Library of Congress and other Legislative Branch agencies. Contamination on the USAOC parcel is due to past Army activities. Currently, much of the improved areas of the USAOC parcel are used for storing documents. Approximately 10-acres of the western extreme part of the USAOC property has been leased back to the Army and is used as a transportation motor pool (TMP). The motor pool is operated by the Army.

This area was evaluated in 1994 for feasibility of development for the needs of the Legislative Branch agencies. At the time of the study, the area contained a temporary warehouse area, buildings formerly used as the Fort commissary, and buildings associated with the TMP facility. A stream (Rogue Harbor Branch) flows south through the site, and wetlands are present in the vicinity of the stream.

A phase I site assessment was performed as part of the 1994 development study. The assessment identified VOCs, pesticide, PCBs, and metals contamination in the DRMO area. The assessment also identified petroleum hydrocarbon contamination at the TMP and in the vicinity of several USTs in the warehouse area. Based on the results of the 1994 assessment, a Phase II investigation was recommended.

In 2006, an RI was performed to characterize the nature and extent of contamination and to quantify the risk to human health and ecological receptors. The investigation identified SVOCs, metals (including lead), and a pesticide at concentrations exceeding risk screening criteria for arsenic and lead soil exceedances. The HHRA results indicated a potential risk for future off-site residential (adult and child) exposure to shallow GW. The screening-level ecological risk assessment (SLERA) results indicated that a more thorough assessment of the potential for ecological risk may be warranted, due to the potential for ecological risk to terrestrial wildlife in wooded portions of the site and to the aquatic organisms and benthic invertebrates in Rogue Harbor Branch.

A technical memorandum was prepared in 2007 for the USAOC parcel to further evaluate the HHRA and SLERA results from the RI, present new HHRA evaluations of on-site residential exposure to on-site soil and GW, present refined SLERA results, and to discuss risk management options for the site. The technical memorandum recommended NFA for soil, GW, surface water, and sediment at the site. Regulatory comments included recommendations for hot spot removal of lead and arsenic in soil; however, the arsenic exceedances were from samples collected on the railroad tracks that bisect the USAOC property, which is owned by the Maryland State Highway Authority. No additional work by the Army on the railroad tracks are anticipated at this time.

Two lead hotspots were initially reported; however, one was found to be a result of a transposition error (by building 73) in a data table. A work plan to investigate the other lead hotspot (proximal to an electrical substation) has been approved by the USEPA.Initial results show lead to be more extensive then originally anticipated. Additional borings were advanced to delineate lead in thesoil. These results are being addressed in a revised Technical Memorandum. The RI, which is a compilation of several documents was submitted in January 2013. Draft FS is currently being developed to assess remedial action alternatives. A likely

The former trap and skeet range was used for recreational purposes from the mid-1970s through 1994. The site is located at the eastern extent of 20th Street, approximately 1,400 feet east of the intersection with State Route 175. The site is a vacant parcel of66 acres. Approximately 44 acres were used as a trap and skeet range. The former range consisted of a firing line, skeet houses, and the man-made pond. The pond was created by damming a stream. Sampling included shallow soil at 49 locations, sediment at 10 locations (including the flowing stream bed, the dry stream bed, and the pond), surface water at eight locations (including thepond and the stream), and groundwater at four contaminated soil locations and one background location. All samples were analyzed for PAHs and total lead. The highest risk to human health is 2.8 by 10-4, which exceeds the upper threshold for carcinogenic risk (1x10-4); the human health risks are driven by the presence of PAHs in the surface soils. Analytical results indicated that PAHs and total lead were detected across the site at concentrations exceeding regulatory criteria. Based on results of a Sensitive Receptor Survey (SRS) and a risk assessment concluded that corrective action measures should be implemented to address the PAH-contaminated soils and the deposits of lead shot, skeet fragments, and plastic shell fragments.

The July 2002 CAP recommended excavation and removal of these deposits and the PAH-contaminated soils to a maximum estimated depth of 3.5 ft. In addition, draining of the site pond and removal of the deposits from the pond bottom were recommended. In August 2004 over 100 soil samples were collected and analyzed for metals (antimony, arsenic, copper, lead, and zinc) and PAHs. In addition, 10 sediment and seven surface water samples were collected and analyzed for metals and PAHs. Seven groundwater monitoring wells were also installed, developed, and sampled for metals and PAHs.

The findings of the investigation indicate that lead shot, metals, and PAHs have affected portions of the surface soils on-site.PAHs are primarily in front of the former firing line and to the east of the firing line in the woods, just east of one of the former trap-houses of the range. The depth of the PAH impacts extend to the shallow subsurface soils within 150 to 200 ft in front of the former firing line and just to the east of one of the former trap-houses. The lead shot is present in the surface soils east and southeast of the pond in agreement with the azimuth of the former center firing station of the range. A supplemental testing proposal was submitted in September 2007 to determine whether lead concentrations reported in the February Draft Data Report were representative of the lead content in soils excluding any lead shot. To assess potential exposure to human and ecological receptors at the former trap and skeet range, a Final Memorandum Human Health Risk Assessment and Site-specific Terrestrial Ecological Risk Assessment Field Study Work Plan were prepared. Upon approval of the Work Plan, ecological-risk field sampling activities took place and a Draft RI Report was submitted in December 2010, which summarized risks to human health and ecological receptors.

The HHRA was approved in November 2009. The Draft Final RI indicates there is a potential for unacceptable ecological risk in soil from lead; PAHs have been determined to not pose an unacceptable ecological risk.

A final RI was submitted in the Summer of 2011; however, regulatory comments were tendered and addressed. In September 2012, the Army submitted another final RI (revisions 2) and additional regulatory comments were tendered. The army has responded to these comments and submitted the final RI which is under regulatory review. The upcomming FS will evaluate

Preliminary indications are that a remediation will be needed to reduce the ecological risks. Specifically, the reduction of the amount of lead shot and lead in the surface soil. The dimensions of cleanup have not been fully established, but a further action ROD is anticipated in FY16 with lead contaminated soil and lead shot removal, and LUCs. Thiry years of LTM of LUCs are anticipated.

The Nike Control Site is a former Missile Master complex that supported the Nike missile program from 1955 to 1972. As part of the site's RI/FS, lead was detected in surface and subsurface soils above FGGM background levels at concentrations ranging from 0.71 mg/kg to 1,770 mg/kg. Arsenic was detected in subsurface soils above FGGM background levels and above the USEPARegion III industrial RBC of 1.9 mg/kg at concentrations ranging from 0.68 mg/kg to 17.1 mg/kg. Trichloroethene (TCE) was detected in groundwater at concentrations ranging from 0.56 [estimated concentration (J)] ug/L] to 218 ug/L. Bldg 1945 (the apparent source area of the TCE groundwater plume) was used as a generator plant and for maintenance operations.

The Draft Final RI/FS was submitted to the USEPA and the MDE and was commented on. In response to comments from the MDE, the Army collected additional soil samples to better define certain metals and VOCs at the former radar tower. The results have shown no source levels of TCE or metals associated with the radar tower. The USEPA requested that a SLERA be completed and added to the RI/FS. The Draft Final SLERA was submitted to the USEPA. The USEPA also requested the collection of sediment samples from site intermittent streams, which was completed. No unacceptable risks to ecological receptorsexist.

The TCE groundwater plume is approximately 100 feet from the nearest building (Bldg 1976). This is an unoccupied storage building that is connected to Bldg 1978, an administrative building. Sediment analysis has been completed and reported in a revised SLERA. The Army and USEPA have worked to finalize the revised SLERA. Several draft final RIs were submitted but additional comments were recieved. The most recent RI was submitted in January 2013. If no comments are recieved within the time frame stipulated in the Ft. Meade Federal Facilities Agreement the RI automatically becomes final. The RI recommends the preparation of a feasibility study to assess potential remedial action alternatives to address TCE and arsenic in near-surface groundwater as well as potential vapor intrusion in building 1976. A likely groundwater remedy may be chemical injections into the groundwater with LTM and LUCs. No further ecological risk evaluations are proposed.

The former Tank Maintenance Facility Shop - 1 Bldg 2207 (FGGM-88) is presently used by the Directorate of Public Works as a storage and receiving yard. Current land use at the site is commercial/industrial. According to the FGGM Land Use Plan dated July 3, 2000, future land use is designated as "administration." The site includes Bldg 2207 and surrounding areas and support buildings. Constructed in 1918, Bldg 2207 was used from that time until 1973 as a tank maintenance facility. Since at least the mid-1980s, it has been in use by the Directorate of Public Works as a receiving and storage facility. The main floor is currently used for receiving materials for distribution to other facilities and the upper floor is used for storing supplies such as filters, light bulbs, and pipe clamps. The grounds are also used to store construction materials, refrigerators, non-PCB- containing transformers, and fluorescent light bulbs. Records indicate that a spill occurred from a transformer in the yard; however, the material was tested and no PCBs were found.

Investigations conducted at the site (Versar, 1999, and Versar,2000d) identified the following exceedances of soil and groundwater screening criteria. In the soil, arsenic exceeded its RBC-residential, RBC-industrial, and background mean in two of 17 locations tested. TPH-diesel exceeded the MDE cleanup standard at three of 17 locations tested. In the groundwater arsenic exceeded its RBC, but not its MCL at one of 11 locations tested. TPH-diesel exceeded its draft MDE screening criterion at four of 11 locations tested. TPH-gasoline exceeded its draft MDE screening criterion at two of those locations.

The former Missile Repair Shop, Bldg 2220 (FGGM-91) is located approximately 150 ft north of the intersection of Second Street and Pepper Road. The shop was initially used as an electronic maintenance and equipment calibration shop and then later used as a missile repair shop. In the 1960s the shop was a warehouse and troop-training center. Current and future land uses at the site, are designated as maintenance. No hazardous chemicals are currently in use at the facility. Past activities in the building used solvents and produced solvent waste. Small amounts of cleaning solvent and gasoline were stored in a shed outside the building. Two fuel oil USTs were located at the south side of the building; one was removed in 1992 and the other was removed and replaced in 1988 and then removed in 1997. During the 1988 UST removal, corrosion holes were noted at the end of the tank.Investigations conducted at the site identified the following exceedances of soil, groundwater, and metals screening criteria. Therewere no exceedances of screening criteria identified in the soil. In the groundwater, the TPH-diesel range exceeded the draft MDE screening criterion in six of 11 samples tested. For metals, the total exceeded their RBCs in several samples. Dissolved metals (arsenic, iron, manganese) exceeded their RBCs in three locations on the northwest and west sides of the building.

The former Heavy Gun Cleaning and Repair facility (FGGM-92) includes Buildings 2246 and Bldg 2253, located by Pepper and Huber Roads. Current and future land use is designated as maintenance. The maintenance facility includes two main structures, Bldg 2246 (SWMUs 55-56) and two smaller structures, buildings 2244 and 2245. Bldg 2246 includes a wing containing vehicle service bays. A WR (SWMU 58) and associated OWS (SWMU 57) are at the southwest side of Bldg 2246D. Bldg 2246 has been used as a warehouse and vehicle and equipment maintenance facility since 1934. From 1934 until the mid-1980s it was used as a heavy gun repair shop. A portion of the building is also believed to have been used as a tank repair shop. The facility currently provides all levels of maintenance and repair of heavy equipment and base vehicles.

Bldg 2253 was constructed in 1934, and has been used for vehicle maintenance. Since 1992, the Director of Community Activitieshas used the facility for the storage and maintenance of grounds-keeping equipment and supplies (e.g., tractors, gas cylinders). Prior to 1992 it was used as a warehouse.

While Picerne Military Housing was moving earth, as part of the construction of new Army family housing in the housing privatization initiative at FGGM, this 1940s vintage dump site was discovered immediately adjacent to the Manor View ElementarySchool. The subsequent spring FY03, a PA/SI discovered that the dump site extended beyond the planned limits of the housing area, and onto the Manor View Elementary School property. The waste from the site is mixed with black stained soil. Historic aerial photographs reportedly show an incinerator in the vicinity, so it's possible that ash may have been disposed of in the dump. Surface soil samples collected in the discovery area and the schoolyard revealed that benzo (a) pyrene and arsenic exceeded RBCs. TPH-Diesel Range Organics exceeded the MDE Cleanup Standard in both surface and subsurface soil. The soil mixed with the waste did not exhibit RCRA waste characteristics. The RBCs were exceeded at the surface and down to 12 feet below ground surface (bgs).

Since the PA/SI was limited to surface and subsurface soil in and around the dump area, an RI was competed to evaluate groundwater,soil gas, sediment/surface water, soil, and air. The size of the dump is estimated at 10 acres. Preliminary groundwater sample results show that VOCs and metals exceed MCLs. The depth to groundwater averages 36 feet below bgs. Soil gas samples exceed vapor intrusion screening levels for VOCs near buildings, and methane levels are in the combustible range. Due to public safety concerns stemming from the soil gas data, additional sampling was performed, focusing on indoor air quality sampling, sub-slab air sampling, sub-slab vacuum testing, and ambient air quality sampling at the school near the site. Methane and other potential contaminants were not elevated in the sub-slab zone, or in the indoor air beyond background levels. Because the natureand extent of potential chemical contaminants have not been determined, the PP includes execution of a RI. Based on the current understanding of contaminant levels, viable RA consists of long term groundwater monitoring of the school's classrooms and offices. The school's concrete slab foundation appears to be acting as an effective barrier to vapor intrusion. Preliminary ambient (outdoor) air sample results show a VOC exceeding a screening level.

Preliminary constituents of potential concern include arsenic, PAH, TCE, and dioxin in the soil, and arsenic, PAHs, TCE, vinyl chloride, and dieldrin in the groundwater.

Data collected near the neighborhood, to the west of the site, showed increased levels of methane in the soil. This has led to the installation of a passive vent trench and subsequent upgrade to an active system on the west side of the dump area to vent methane as an interim measure. In the winter of 2005 and 2006, families were evacuated from 20 military housing units. A NTCRA/EECA of the buried methane generating waste have been completed and a draft EE/CA is under development. When complete an RI/FS through ROD will be completed to establish the final remedy. As all the apparent methane generating trash has been removed a likely final remedy will be LUCs. The Army is seeking a variance for the remaining part of the landfill as no additional actions will increase the level of protectiveness offered by the current soil cover.



Site ID: FGGM 93Site Name: MANOR VIEW DUMP SITE

CLEANUP/EXIT STRATEGYThe USEPA approved the Army's proposal for a non-time critical removal action (NTCRA) to address the buried trash generating methane as it meets the criteria in the Nation Contingency Plan for doing a NTCRA. The methane generating waste has been removed and the data generally show the levels of residual methane are decreasing. The site has been restored to a flat grasss field. Soil gas samples are being collected but the frequency will drcrease with the declining levels of soil-gas methane. Work on the FS continues and the Army anticipates a further action ROD in FY13 with LTM in FY14 for 30 years.

None of these AOIs are currently in operation. These AOI have been combined into a single site (FGGM-95) due to their proximity and/or similarity in contaminants and affected media.Based on existing data the AOIs fall into two categories; NFA or further action. For AOIs where the data supports a determination of NFA, the Army prepared Consensus Letters describing the AOIs and proposed NFA. The Army prepared and submitted numerous Consensus Letters to the USEPA and many were approved.

For those sites where the data supports additional data collection activities, the Army prepared PA/SI work plans describing the types of data needed to determine if a CERCLA release occurred or not. These data collection activities have occurred at many sites, but at this time not all the data is available for evaluation; however, preliminary indications are that one site (Inactive Landfill No. 4) will likely advance to the RI/FS phase through NFA ROD.

Contamination AssessmentMMRPContamination Assessment Overview

The installation finalized the RI in 2011 and began an FS to evaluate potential RA alternatives. A ROD was signed in September 2012 for the Former Mortar Range MRA (FGGM-003-R-01 and -02. The selected remedy includes LUCs involving annual site sweeps, educational/awareness activities and the placement of signs. The installation will continue to maintain the fence surrounding Inactive Landfill Number 2.

Cleanup Exit Strategy

In June 2003 a Phase 3 Army range inventory was completed at FGGM. The inventory identified six sites as eligible for the Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP), though two of the sites (FGGM-001-R-01 and FGGM-002-R-01) have since been determined to be BRAC sites, not MMRP sites. The Phase 3 range inventory serves as the PA under CERCLA. These sites were investigated as part of a SI.

In 2007 the SI, which focused on military munitions, was conducted. Based on the results of the SI, only one munitions response area (MRA), FGGM-003-R-01 Former Mortar Range, was recommended for an RI. The RI of the Former Mortar Range began in 2007 and is currently underway. Intrusive investigations conducted as part of the RI have found two and three inch stokes mortars, 60millimeter (mm) mortars, 81mm mortars, Mark II hand grenades, and land mines; all were determined to be practice rounds. Small arms rounds were also found including .20 caliber (cal), .30 cal, and .50 cal rounds.

The RI is currently under regulatory review but based on the munitions items detected and the patterns of detection the site has been split into two separate Munitions Response Sites (MRS): the Former Mortar Range Firing and Impact site (FGGM-003-R-01) and the Former Mortar Range Training and maneuver Area (FGGM-003-R-02).

The second active MRA is Inactive Landfill Number 2 located at the southern tip of the Tipton Army Airfield south of Rte 32 in Odenton, Maryland. Initially a BRAC site for transfer to Anne Arundel County as part of the Tipton Army Airfield transfer, the site was retained by FGGM due to the excessive number of magnetic anomalies. The LUCs for this site are based on a BRAC July 1998, Decision Document (DD) and include the installation and maintenance of a fence.

The Mortar Range MRA is approximately 291 acres located in the southwest portion of the installation. The range was identified on a 1924 War Game Map. It was in use from 1924 until the mid-1940s. Until recently the land was used as the golf course, but isnow administrative buildings and open space. During the early-1990s the explosive ordnance division reported a white phosphorous mortar was found on the course. The 2004 environmental baseline study (EBS), for Site M (golf course), stated that spent bullets, training mortar rounds, and pieces of exploded grenades were found as part of routine use and maintenance. The EBS also documented detections of explosives above laboratory detection limits, but below regulatory screening levels in soil and groundwater, at areas within the Safety Danger Zone of the mortar range.

Intrusive investigations conducted as part of the RI have found two and three inch stokes mortars, 60mm mortars, 81mm mortars, Mark II hand grenades, and land mines; all were determined to be practice rounds. Small arms rounds were also found, including .22cal (casings only), .30cal, and .50cal rounds.

Based on the results of the RI, safety hazards associated with MEC and MPPEH may exist at the Mortar Range MRA (Mortar Range MRS (FGGM-003-R-01) and the Training Area MRS (FGGM-003-R-02)). Although the probability of MEC or MPPEH being encountered is low and slightly different between the two MRSs, the acute nature of the hazard warrants consideration of a munitions response action. Based on the result of HHRA and SLERA, no further investigation or munitions response actions related to MC are warranted as there are no unacceptable risks. Therefore, the MEC / MPPEH presents the only known safety hazard. The proposed Remedial Action Objective (RAO) for both of the MRSs include: control and minimize the potential for contact of receptors with possible MEC at the surface and within the subsurface by controlling the specific exposure pathways identified at the two MRSs. The September 2012, ROD shows the selected remedy as LUCs with LTM. The two types of LUCs will be used: institutional controls (IC) and engineering controls (ECs).

ICs are administrative measures put in place to restrict human activity, in order to control future land use including, governmental controls, proprietary controls, enforcement and permitting, and informational devices. ECs include a variety of engineered constructed barriers to restrict human activity, in order to control future land use including MRS-specific signage describing restrictions of site use at key locations on the site. Annual inspections will be performed to establish that all on-site LUCs (e.g., MRS-specific signage) are in good condition, to confirm that the land use of the site has not changed, and to confirm through instrument-assisted surface sweep that no MEC / MPPEH/munitions debris has been exposed through erosion or frost heave. TheLUCs are incorporated into the master plan and included in the installations Geographical Information System (GIS) and dig permit process. The remedial design has been approved and will be implemented in 2013, and reviewed as part of the CERCLA 5-yr review process.

This 260-acre Training Area MRS, part of the Mortar Range MRA, was used as a training area from the early-1920s to the early 1940s. Five munitions debris items were found throughout the entire 260-acre Training Area MRS during the MEC fieldwork. These items include practice grenades, an expended flare, and a small arms ammunition casings disposal pit. The practice grenades and expended flare are indicative of general troop training, and the small arms ammunition casings disposal pit is indicative of disposal. Five soil samples were collected during the fieldwork and tested for metals and explosives.

Because the Mortar Range MRS (FGGM-003-R-01) is very similar to this MRS all the CERCLA documents prepared have included this MRS. For more information on the CERCLA process at this MRS and the selected remedy, please refer to FGGM-003-R-01.

The 23-acre Inactive Landfill No. 2 (IAL2) is part of the Tipton Maneuver and Buffer Area located immediately south of the Tipton Airfield. Historically, the site was addressed under FGGM-85, a BRAC property; however, it was not transferred and remains under Fort Meade accountability. Other portions of FGGM-85 are addressed as a BRAC site.

Historical aerial photographs show that IAL2 was initially operated as a soil borrow area from 1938 and 1943. According to the 1989 Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report sometime after 1952 the area was operated as an unlined rubble disposal area that reached its maximum extent by 1963. IAL2 was used sparingly between the years 1963 and 1970 when aerial photographs show the area was being increasingly re-vegetated. A single north-northwest trending trench was reported visible along the east side of the access road in 1970. Continued disposal activities occurred after 1980 in the northern portion of IAL2 where graded and disturbed areas are visible in 1986. During the remedial investigation fieldwork, piles of rubble (brush, concrete, and asphalt debris) which appear to be of more recent origin were observed in a pond/wetland area on the north side of IAL2. No buildings or structures are present at the IAL2. In 1998, a Decision Document was signed which states that an engineering control, a perimeterfence (with warning signs), be installed around an approximately 10-acre portion of the ILF2 and that the fence be inspected annually and any damage be repaired. To facilitate the annual inspections vegetation around the fence is cleared annually (5 feet inside the outside the fence).
